[Today's second update, 12,000 words have been updated, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward]

Mt. Lost is located about 185 kilometers northwest of Ojika Island, on Tsushima Island, and is a collective name for more than 100 hills.

The Emperor of China [***] attacked Tsushima Island and planned to use Tsushima Island as a springboard to attack Kyushu Island. As for the attack on Tsushima Island, the Tsushima Airport in the middle of Tsushima Island should be the key target.

Tsushima Airport Port is located in the center of a series of chrysanthemum-shaped radial Tsushima Islands, there is a series of deep into the sea peninsula surrounded by a U-shaped sea area, the south side is about 33 kilometers and 22 kilometers long, the west is a series of peninsula islands and reefs, the northeast is a continuous reef, there is a deep water channel leading to the lagoon in the middle, in the south of the Dingguan Mountain, the mountain island has a 4500 meters long causeway all the way to the lagoon, the airport area is 3700 meters long, the width varies from 450 meters to 540 meters, With an area of about 1.18 square kilometers, it is the most important defense core island of the Japanese army on Tsushima Island, and there is an airport in the middle of the island.

Airport, for the translation of the word "airport" from the Chinese Imperial Aviation Administration, was originally seaplane, so the addition of Hong Kong characters after the empty word is directly compiled into the vocabulary of the Yue language with the Chinese word "airport".

With a runway of 1,400 meters long and 60 meters wide, the airport is the only large airport in the archipelago. After fifteen months of hard work on Tongshan Island, the army built a complete defense system, and the defenders were more than 4,000 people under the personal command of Major General Shibasaki, and most of them were the elite divisions of the Saimoto Marine Corps.

The Chinese Emperor [***] landed on Tsushima Island is the 2nd Marine Division, which is different from the 27th Division of the Army, in order to compete with the Army, the Navy vigorously develops the Marine Corps, and the training is far stricter than that of the Army, and many Marine officers and men have been tested by war, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of the 27th Division of the Army.

At about 15 o'clock in the afternoon of 19 November, the landing group arrived in the south-central waters of Tsushima Island, and the commander of the landing group, Major General Xu Bangjie, called a press conference with reporters accompanying the troops, claiming that they would wipe Tongshan off the map in one fell swoop.

Before the landfall, all the warships of the landing formation assembled in the waters southeast of Tongshan and Tsushima Airport and marched together towards the landing area.

At about 4 a.m. on 20 November, the landing transports began to lay down their small landing vehicles.

An hour later, the battleship Genghis Khan ejected the ship-based school firing plane, and the fire of the ejection was discovered by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's coastal artillery immediately began to fire.

The four Yuan-class battleships immediately returned fire, and the 17-inch cannon roared like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the fierce artillery fire and gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire Tongshan in an instant.

Although the artillery of the coastal fortresses of the Japanese army had been frightened by the terrifying main guns of the battleships, they continued to return fire under the leadership of their commanders. Since the fortress guns of the Yue army could not pose a fatal threat to the Yuan-class battleships, the Yue army also took the initiative to give up attacking the Yuan-class battleships, but aimed their artillery fire at other small and medium-sized warships, troop carriers and other targets, and it became more and more accurate, Xu Bangjie had to command the landing fleet to transfer positions.

At 5:45, the communications equipment of the battleship Genghis Khan, the flagship of the command, which had commanded the landing, failed due to the violent shaking generated after two salvos of the main guns. The carrier-based aircraft of the 6th Detachment did not arrive on time as planned.

At 6:15 a.m., carrier-based planes that had taken off from the aircraft carriers of the 13th and 16th Battlefields of the Sixth Fleet finally arrived. Because the Chinese Emperor [***] used explosive shells when firing naval guns, and at this time there was already thick smoke billowing on the mountain, and the pilots could not see the ground targets clearly at all, so the ground attack of the carrier-based aircraft ended in a hurry after only seven minutes.

The naval artillery fire continued, in the more than two hours of naval artillery attack, the first task force fired more than 3,000 shells of various kinds, and the small Tongshan almost every square meter suffered a ton of shells, and it seemed impossible for any creatures to survive on the island under such fierce artillery fire, but the Chinese emperor [***] greatly overestimated the effect of artillery preparation, and most of the army's fortifications, especially the artillery bunkers, were buried deep in the ground, and the shells could only be destroyed by using time-delay fuses.

The Imperial Chinese Navy lacked experience in firing at point targets on the shore, and the speed was so fast that the smoke from the explosion of the shells obscured the target, but the actual effect was not ideal. The only effect of such large-scale fire preparation was to blow up all the communication lines between the army's headquarters and the various units.

While the Emperor of China [***] was preparing for naval artillery fire, the minesweepers began to sweep and mark the safe passage into the Tsushima Lagoon, guiding the landing ships to also sail into the Tsushima Lagoon.

At 6:19 a.m., because the Japanese coastal artillery was still firing, the landing ship had to retreat beyond the range of the Japanese coastal artillery to stand by.

The 2nd Marine Division completed the transfer at 7:07 a.m., first arrived at the assembly area 6,400 meters away from the departure line, and then reorganized the formation and then attacked the three beachheads codenamed "Red 1," "Red 2," and "Red 3" at a six-minute interval of six minutes. Because the minesweeper responsible for marking the channel was engaged in an artillery battle with the coastal artillery of the Japanese army during its operation, the marked channel was westward, which increased the distance between the landing ships and the assembly area. The drivers of the amphibious vehicles, on the other hand, were novices and were not fully trained, sailed slower than planned, and did not arrive at the departure line until 8:25 a.m., 40 minutes later than planned, and the scheduled landing time was postponed from 8:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., and then again until 9 a.m. Therefore, the guns of the Imperial Chinese Navy began to fire in depth at 8:35 a.m., then bombarded the beach again, and only extended their fire again at 8:55 a.m.

At this time, an observation and liaison plane of the Navy discovered that the landing ship could not make a surprise attack on the beach at 9 o'clock, so it reported to the flagship battleship Genghis Khan, but the communication equipment of the battleship Genghis Khan had failed and had not yet been repaired, so everything was still being implemented according to the plan of landing at 9 o'clock.

At 9 o'clock sharp, the carrier-based aircraft flew to the beachhead to carry out aviation fire cover, but because the ground was full of smoke, the pilots could not see the target clearly, and the effect of the ground attack was extremely poor; when the planes finished the attack, the naval artillery fire had extended to the depth, and there was a 23-minute fire break on the beachhead.

This time was enough for the army to enter the fortifications from the concealment department.

As they approached the beachhead, the landing ships were met head-on by fire, most of the landing boats were shot and lost their ability to maneuver, and only a few were able to land, and the beach was littered with burning landing boats and dead and wounded soldiers. The marines who had finally rushed ashore were suppressed by the fire of the army under the embankment on the beach and could not advance.

The fourth and fifth waves were mechanized landing craft and vehicle personnel landing craft carrying landing troops, troop carriers, combat vehicles and artillery. The War Department finally decided that the tank was only suitable for fighting on the plains, and the siege of the islands was not suitable for the tank. However, in view of the need for the protection of armored vehicles for the beach-rushing landing, the use of troop carriers for the beach-rushing landing operation was approved.

Since the draft of the landing ship carrying infantry fighting vehicles was deeper than that of the landing ship carrying infantry, and it was at low tide and it was impossible to cross the reef, support was urgently needed on the beach.

The landing force then lowered the M10 infantry fighting vehicles it was carrying into the water and waded, but some of the troop fighting vehicles had their engines failed due to water penetration, and only seven of them were on the beach, three of which were unable to move because of the wounded on the beach. The other three were destroyed by artillery fire and mines, and one was trapped in the anti-landing pile pit and could not move.

The landing soldiers were transported to the shallow water area by the landing ships of the first three landing waves, and then they had to pass through the shallow water area at a depth of 700 meters in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets of the Japanese army. And the landing craft carrying heavy artillery could not be unloaded, so they had to retreat and wait for the high tide.

Colonel Xiao Nan, commander of the 2nd Marine Regiment, was formerly the chief of the operations section of the 2nd Marine Division, and had just taken over from the former commander of the 2nd Marine Regiment, who had been wounded during the exercise a week ago.

At 10:33 a.m., he finally found a working radio station and immediately ordered the 1st Battalion of the regimental reserve to go ashore from Hongyitan. But it was not until after noon that he got in touch with Ren Yongqing, commander of the 2nd Marine Division.

At this time, the landed Chinese Emperor [***] only occupied the beachhead a few meters deep, and the casualties had already exceeded 20%. Xu Bangjie had already known that the situation on the beach was not good through observing the plane, and after receiving Xiao Nan's report, he ordered the naval guns to continue to fire fiercely to provide artillery cover for the troops on the beach, and at the same time put in the divisional reserves, and at the same time reported to Yang Yonglin, commander of the First Task Force, requesting that the general reserves be transferred to reinforce them.

At this time, the battle for Lost Hill was almost on the verge of defeat - most of the landing craft loaded with follow-up troops and heavy weapons were blocked on the reef, and the rest had to wait for the high tide in the waters outside the reef. The troops on the beach were overwhelmed by the fire of the Japanese army, and the few transport ships left rushed back and forth to bring supplies and remove the wounded.

At such a critical moment, the 2nd Marine Division fully carried forward the unique fighting style of the Marine Corps, and junior officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers took the initiative to organize and charge desperately.

At the Hongsan beachhead, Lieutenant Zhang Shihua led 34 fighters to advance 300 meters step by step with explosives packs, bayonets, and shovels, occupied a section of embankment on the east side of the beachhead, and obtained a place where the artillery could deploy, and the artillery immediately assembled the 80-mm mine gun, and then provided artillery support for the troops.

During the battle, Lieutenant Zhang Shihua, who shouted "Long live the empire", was hit by a heavy machine gun of the Yue army, and his blood stained the beach red, and he died a heroic death. (In recognition of his bravery, the Command of the First Task Force named the Tsushima Airport on Tongshan Island as Zhang Shihua Airport) Commander Xiao Nan was well aware of the important surname of the trestle bridge connecting the Red Second Beach and the Red Third Beach, and organized five attacks in succession, and finally captured the trestle with the support of 32 carrier-based aircraft.

The Navy and Air Force did their best to provide support to the landing force, and four Tempest-class hunting ships remained parked in the lagoon and were ready to provide support at any time. More than a dozen aircraft carriers and hundreds of carrier-based aircraft of the Sixth Detachment continued to provide aviation fire support, and before the day fell, they successively carried out 32 waves of attacks, almost leveling the positions of the Syrian troops.

By the time of sunset, the Chinese Emperor [***] had 5,000 people ashore, but more than 1,500 casualties. In the western part of the beach occupies a landing field of 140 meters in front and 450 meters in depth, and in the east it controls the beachhead in front of 600 meters and 270 meters in depth. During the night, there were only a few small-scale attacks on the army, all of which were easily repelled by the Emperor of China.

The Chinese Emperor [***] bombarded the Japanese army with heavy artillery fire, completely destroying the communication system of the Yue army, and the Yue army was unable to restore communications, so Shibasaki was unable to organize a large-scale counterattack.

On November 21, after a night of replenishment, the Chinese Emperor [***] advanced with all his might and expanded the landing ground.

In the afternoon, the tide finally arrived, heavy weapons and infantry fighting vehicles went ashore at the Red First Beach and Red Third Beach, and the two battalions of the 6th Marine Regiment of the General Reserve landed on the beach codenamed "Green Beach" at the newly opened landing point on the west side of Tongshan, and immediately eliminated the 203-mm coastal guns that posed the greatest threat to the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and the light cruisers and hunting ships were able to safely sail into the lagoon and cover the advance of the ground forces with increasingly accurate and fierce artillery fire under the command of the shore fire control group.

Another battalion of the 6th Marine Regiment occupied the Qianmaoshan Island and Reef east of Tongshan and set up a 155-mm heavy howitzer position to support the battle on Tongshan.

With the landing and use of a large number of heavy weapons in the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Emperor [***] began to gain the upper hand, but the Yue army was still stubbornly resisting.

The 2nd Marine Division immediately dispatched a special combat team directly under the division, and the capable special forces used astigmatism, tear gas, incendiary bombs, and explosives packs to solve the firing points of the Japanese army one by one, and even secretly used poison gas bombs, causing a large number of casualties among the Japanese troops. At the same time, the snipers of the special combat unit shot and killed a large number of commanders, machine gunners, and gunners of the Japanese army, causing the command of the Japanese army to quickly fail and the firepower to drop sharply.

Before the fall, the Chinese Emperor [***] advanced to the south bank of Tongshan. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the heavy fire of the Chinese Emperor [***], and when Shibasaki led the members of the command to move to the nearby tunnels, they were killed by the 155-mm heavy howitzers of the 2nd Marine Division, causing the supreme command system of the Tsushima Army to fail.

In the evening, Colonel Takamori, chief of staff of the 2nd Marine Division, went to the island to take unified command of the battle of all the troops on the island.

On November 22, the Chinese Emperor [***] took the beachhead as the base point, carried out a flanking attack on the remnants of the Japanese army, and launched a surprise attack on the central Tsushima air port. The victory or defeat of the Lost Mountain was a foregone conclusion, but the resistance of the Yue army continued.

At dusk, Major General Ren Yongqing, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, went to the island and opened a division command post on the beachhead.

In the early morning of 23 November, the remnants of the Yue Army, which had been compressed in the narrow strip of eastern the island, launched three large-scale suicide charges in succession.

"Tom tom!"

In front of the unique M2 heavy machine gun, the suicidal soldiers who charged were beaten into a blood mist one after another. The power of the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun bullet was amazing, and after the large-caliber bullet hit by the soldier, it was instantly torn to pieces, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The scene was so cruel that even the soldiers of the Chinese Emperor [***] who shot were a little unbearable.

Although the suicidal charge of the Yue army had no effect on the war situation, the tenacious courage of the Yue army was recognized by the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Emperor, at least the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Emperor [***] no longer abused the captured Yue army.

At around 5 o'clock, the counterattack of the Yue army finally subsided. After noon, the Chinese Emperor [***] broke through the last position of the Yue army and completely annihilated the defenders. Ren Yongqing, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, announced at 13:12 that all Tongshan would be occupied.

In this battle, all but 146 of the more than 4,000 garrison troops of the Chinese army were killed, and 29 of the captured personnel were also American consultants and engineers. The Chinese Empire suffered 1,013 killed and 2,072 wounded, including 984 killed and 2,001 wounded by marines, and more than 103 missing.

After the bloody battle of Tongshan, the army on Tsushima Island basically lost its strength. The Emperor of China [***] quickly occupied the entire island of Tsushima like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

On the 24th, Major General Ren Yongqing climbed Tongshan Mountain, and the veteran general was greatly shocked by the scene that had just undergone the baptism of fire, and he said to the reporters accompanying the army: "I can't imagine how they captured this island, this is the most well-defended island I have ever seen, and I have to say that I am stronger than the Russians." ”

He then ordered people to raise the dragon banner of the Chinese Empire on two pine trees that had been cut bald by artillery fire, and at the same time he found that many fortifications of the Chinese army had not been destroyed by the fierce artillery fire, so he ordered his subordinates to immediately organize relevant personnel to come to study and analyze, and draw lessons from them.

On November 27, Wang Guoqing, the crown prince of the Chinese Empire, personally inspected the front line of Tsushima Island on behalf of the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao and awarded medals to the meritorious soldiers.

At that time, a large number of dead bodies had not had time to be buried, and the stench of corpses filled the air, and the cruelty of war was shocking.

The crown prince Wang Guoqing, who had just turned 18, came to the battlefield to feel the cruelty of war under the order of his father, Wang Chenhao, in order to make him understand that the empire's current national peace and prosperity were not easy to come by. At the same time, it is also to allow the emperor to feel the care of the emperor and the imperial family for them and establish prestige.

Wang Guoqing couldn't help but say with emotion: "I have never seen such a hideous and cruel battlefield!" It's horrible! Our soldiers must have worked very hard, please do a good job of dealing with the aftermath, and ask my father and me, as well as all the members of the royal family, to express our condolences to the families of these soldiers who have given their lives for the empire, and the empire will not forget them. ”

Yang Yonglin hurriedly said: "Your Highness is merciful, Your Majesty will definitely do it." ”

Wang Guoqing nodded, and then said: "In addition, my father asked me to come to the front line this time, and by the way, I will tell you that if I find that the battle against you may fall into a quagmire, I must withdraw immediately." Now that the navy has been completely destroyed, and the threat to the empire is negligible, there is no need for us to spend the hard-earned tax money of the empire's citizens on the loss itself. ”

"Obey the order!" Yang Yonglin hurriedly nodded and said, "The minister must remember the teachings of the emperor and His Royal Highness!" ”

Wang Guoqing nodded, and then said: "I have already transferred the meaning, you can do it yourself." I'm here to experience life, I won't interfere with other things, it's entirely up to you. ”

"Your Highness!" When Yang Yonglin heard the words of experiencing life, he was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "How long will Your Highness stay this time?" I really don't dare to stay on this front line for a long time, so Your Highness might as well come to ......"

"My father said, let me practice my courage on the front line, otherwise I will never grow up."

Yang Yonglin rolled his eyes suddenly, and he couldn't wait to send Wang Guoqing back immediately, because the bullets and shells on the battlefield did not have long eyes, in case there were remnants of the army waiting for an opportunity to commit suicide and attack and hurt the crown prince, then he Yang Yonglin would not be able to eat and walk away.

"Your Highness can't help it......"

"You can't even protect me, do you? Then you might as well go home and pick up the baby! ”

Wang Guoqing's words immediately blocked Yang Yonglin's mouth, and Yang Yonglin saw that he couldn't persuade the crown prince, so he suddenly smiled sadly and bitterly, and hurriedly called the most elite headquarters guards to protect him.

However, Wang Guoqing has a large number of imperial guards by his side, and he doesn't seem to need Yang Yonglin's protection.
